Aberdeen Grammar School, known to students as the Grammar, is a state secondary school in Aberdeen, Scotland. It is one of twelve secondary schools run by the Aberdeen City Council educational department.[4] It is the oldest school in the city and one of the oldest grammar schools in the United Kingdom, with a history spanning more than 750 years.[5]
Founded around 1257, the year used in official school records, it began operating as a boys' school. On Skene Street, near the centre of the city, it was originally situated on Schoolhill, near the current site of Robert Gordon's College.[6] It moved to its current site in 1863, and became co-educational in 1973.[5] From 1970 to 1977, it was known as Rubislaw Academy, named after the nearby Rubislaw area of Aberdeen.
In an annual survey run by the British broadsheet newspaper The Times, Aberdeen Grammar was rated the 12th best Scottish state secondary school in 2007, and second in Aberdeen behind Cults Academy.[7]
The most notable alumnus is Lord Byron, the Romantic poet and writer. A statue of him was erected in the front courtyard of the school. Other alumni include Scottish international footballer Russell Anderson and mathematician Hector Munro Macdonald.[8]
The exact date of the school's founding is unknown; however, research done to mark the school's 750th anniversary led to the belief it was formed in c. 1257, which is the date that is now used for official school purposes. The earliest documented date of its existence is in the Burgh Records of 1418, when the Lord Provost and Council nominated John Homyll to replace the recently deceased Andrew of Chivas as "Master of the Schools".[5] Originally on Schoolhill, near the site of the current Robert Gordon's College, the curriculum consisted of Latin, Greek and ancient geography.[5][6]
In 1580, new pupils were reprimanded, under the penalty of £10, if they did not show good behaviour or did not listen to their Magistrates or masters.[9] In 1612, the pupils, many of whom were related to the gentry in the country, rioted with pistols and hagbuts, and took over part of the school. The masters stopped the riot, and 21 pupils were expelled, while some were arrested.[9] From 1861–1863, the school moved to its current location on Skene Street. A large granite building in Scottish baronial style was constructed and officially opened on 23 October 1863. This allowed expansion of the curriculum to include English, mathematics, modern languages, art and gymnastics. Other buildings and extensions have been added to the 1863 building since it was built. These include the Bennum Building (originally a primary school) and the 1960s modern design: west-wing science block, theatre and the dining hall. Originally a fee-paying boys' school it became a council grammar school and then a comprehensive academy in 1970. It became co-educational in 1973.
In 1986, the original building was devastated by a fire, destroying most of the rooms including the large library, a collection of Byron's notebooks, the trophy room and other classrooms, although the historic façade was mostly undamaged.[10] The school was rebuilt over many years, with modern facilities, while pupils studied in temporary classrooms in the playground. These Portakabins were used by the English and Art Departments.
The school and FPs club own the 18-acre (73,000 m2) Rubislaw Playing Fields at a site about a mile away from the main school building.[6][11] Shared with the former pupils' club, the location has rugby union pitches with a stand, football pitches, grass hockey pitches and an Astroturf hockey pitch built in 2005.[6][12]
In recent years the school has been the site of a number of newsworthy events, including a protest against PETA, the painting pink of an entire temporary classroom block and a bomb threat.[13][14]
The school marked its 750th anniversary year in 2007 with a series of fund-raising events, the proceeds of which went towards buying a new school minibus.[15] Also in 2007, work was completed on a new gymnasium, begun two years previously.[16] The new building has a modern interior compared with the old granite. The building at the Rubislaw Playing Fields was also refurbished in 2008 in much the same style as the gym, and was extended to include four extra changing rooms and a reception area.
The motto is Bon Record. This is not to be confused with that of the City of Aberdeen—Bon Accord—which was first heard of in 1308, over 50 years after the school was founded.
Present day[edit]
Today the school is run by Aberdeen City Council in accordance with the Scottish Executive's educational guidelines for state schools. In the 1998–99 academic year, the education of each pupil at the Grammar School specifically cost £2,690.[17] Aberdeen City Council spent an average of £5,834 per secondary school pupil as a whole in its authority during the 2005–2006 session.
In the session 2006–2007, 43% of fifth- and sixth-year pupils received a qualification equivalent of five Highers or more—a 3% increase on the previous year. It is now ranked 12th equal in Scotland for these qualifications. Furthermore, 64% of fourth-years gained a Standard Grade at Credit level—an increase of 4%. The school is currently ranked 10th in this field.[3] In an annual survey run by the British broadsheet newspaper The Times, Aberdeen Grammar was rated the 19th best Scottish state secondary school in 2005 based on exam results, rising to 16th in 2006 and, most recently, 12th in 2007.[3]
Pupils and catchment area[edit]
About 1160 pupuils attend the school each year, between the ages of about 11 to 18. The school's catchment area centres on the west end of the city, including Rosemount and Mannofield. There are five main primary schools that feed into the school, located throughout the centre and west-end of Aberdeen: Ashley Road Primary School, Gilcomstoun Primary School, Mile-End School, Skene Square Primary School and St. Joseph's Primary School (a Roman Catholic faith school).[2][6] Under the Parent's Charter, children from other areas can attend the school after successful application by parents. Places using this method are limited for each year.[2]
Houses and extra-curricular activities[edit]
When starting school pupils are allocated into one of the three houses in the school. These three houses are Byron, Keith-Dun and Melvin.[2]
The school has a particular emphasis on boys' rugby union and girls' hockey.[12] The former pupils club provide extra coaching on some games afternoons and with whom many pupils continue to play for once they leave school. The school has several teams, including football, hockey and rugby sides, and in basketball the school has a strong team linked to the former pupils Greywolves team. There is also representation in golf, swimming, badminton, tennis and netball.[18]
The school has a large and active Former Pupils' Club, which has members all over the world and a clubhouse at Queens Road opposite the extensive Rubislaw Playing Fields. The club is home to the largest selection of sports clubs in Aberdeen.[11] These include the Scottish Premier Division rugby team and the Aberdeen GSFP RFC, who play at Rubislaw Playing Fields.[6][12]
The rector is the head of the school. Records show there were 26 rectors between 1418 and 1881.[19]

Take a journey through my mind
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I definitely like how this is split into different parts, like the different environments in a real journey. That opening part got me pumped, it sounded like the introduction to a really epic DnB action soundtrack...and then it wasn't, which was both a pleasant surprise and also a disappointing one. This journey through your mind sounds like a mess, and I mean that more in a good way than a bad way; it's artful. The dissonance and blatant differences in all of the melodies express how chaotic it must be in there. Sometimes the piano part, and especially that string sting, seemed out of place amongst a predominantly synth-based song. Other than that everything else is pretty cool, especially the beat and that beginning part. Nice work!
I liked the way you explained everything, and I'll keep all that in mind while creating the 'Part 2'.

Halloween 2012: A Witch, A Black Cat, and a Promise Fulfilled
Phew, it has been a long but good weekend. In fact, the weekend was so good that I still haven't had a chance to let everyone know how I did on the ol' I'm gonna be a better father by dressing up for Halloween vow.
The first thing I learned about my newly found desire to be one of those dads who dresses up for Halloween with his kids is that it takes a bit more preparation than waking up the morning of Halloween and thinking, oh crap, I was going to dress up for Halloween and I have no idea what I'm going to be or where I'm going to get a costume on the morning of Halloween.
Both Casey and Addie were a bit shocked by my revelation that I had decided to dress up for Halloween, and Addie had gotten pretty excited about it. She reminded me almost daily that she was going to have me dress up in one of those pink bunny costumes like you see on The Christmas Story. Typical me, however, nodded my head and went about my day as if I still had several months before it came time to make plans for Halloween.
I went to work Halloween morning just like any other morning and came home with my ready-made excuses as to why I wouldn't be following through on my promise for Halloween this year. Before the excuses came flying out of my mouth, Casey stepped in with my Doofennshmirtz costume from last year and told me to get changed.
Aside from Vivi's mid-trick-or-treat meltdown and everyone thinking I was dressed as some kind of surgeon, we all had a really good Halloween this year.
Here is some evidence that I followed through with my promise:

AUD/USD Forecast October 22, 2012, Technical Analysis
Add a comment
Technical Reports
To learn more click here
The AUD/USD pair fell during the session on Friday in order to trigger sell orders from the Thursday shooting star. Because of this, it appears that we are failing at the center of the previous consolidation area, always a very telling sign. With this being said, it appears that the 1.04 level is acting as massive resistance now, which of course is not a good sign for the Aussie dollar.
The market has been consolidating for the last six months or so, and we have been bouncing from the 1.02 handle to the 1.06 level. This is a very significant area, and the fact that we continue to bounce around in it suggests to us that perhaps a significant move has to come. However, when a pair simply cannot make it back to the other side of a consolidation area, it quite often is the first sign that something is amiss.
Because of this, we do like selling the Australian dollar; also we have to keep in mind that the Asian economies seem to be slowing down on the whole which of course will have a massive effect on the Australian economy. The Chinese economy looks softer than previous, and as such the Australians will be exporting much less to the mainland and this will create less demand for the Aussie dollar in general.
Looking at this chart, we do expect a bit of support near the 1.03 area, which would be the start of the band of support down to the 1.02 handle. However, as things progress, we are seeing less and less optimism out there and feel that this pair could be a great way to express the "risk off" trade it going into the later part of the year.
There is an FMOC meeting next week, and as such there could be comments that would be very detrimental to the US dollar. If that's the case, this could cause the 1.02 level to hold as support in the end. Because of this, we are very cautious about holding onto this trade for far too long. But we do recognize the fact that a serious fall from this level could be coming.

Every Flower is to Bloom — GBBD
Our 'High Hopes' has burst into full bloom! As I write this, my office is heavy with the scent of ligustrum, bringing memories of childhood and answered prayers. Everything, by my calculation is a month early for our USA 8b zone on the Gulf Coast. My dear husband says that maybe this is not early but normal, since our first two full years here were extra cold and dry. My sincere thanks to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for continuing to host Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, and everyone who participates and inspires.
It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think that's what I get from these older black women, that every soul is to be cherished, that every flower Is to bloom. ~ Alice Walker

"Ruins the SEP Characters in Texas"
If you like any of the charcaters in Texas from other books, like "Lady be Good", then do not listen to this book. Nothing is worse than having favorite charcters trade their charm for hypocrisy. This is a story about an entire town forcing a woman into an undesired sexual encounter with a snake of man, just for financial security...wait, isn't that basically pimping a woman out? How could SEP made such a severe misjudgement?
"What a dumb story!"
This book is nothing short of stupid. I have long considered my words, wanting to be precise in my criticism in respect to the responsibility of a negative review. I can't say this book is horrible, that would imply all components were failures, they were not. There was a thorough story line and a considered plot, it was just extremely dull. The characters were conceivable but were presented in such an unbecoming manner, at times even cringe-worthy. In all, it was just a stupid, boring story unworthy of the caliber of "The Knitting Club" trio. Someone had warned me it wasn't as good as the trio, which I really enjoyed, but I never imagined it would be so dumb.
"Entertaining and Well-Crafted Story"
Definitely! I listen to so many books that I often revisit favorites.
The book is entertaining, what makes it great is the interweaving way in which the story is crafted. I can't think of another book of the same quality which is crafted in the same manner with a light-hearted feeling.
It is a lively cast of characters and the challenge was significant; the narrator, despite horribly mispronouncing the Washington & Idaho regional names, brought personality to each.
"Definitely a book for Young Adults"
I have read a number of "Young Adult" books, of those this is the first time that I felt the story was strictly for young adults, it does not transcend to an older audience as many others can and do. I would guess that young adults would enjoy the dark edge of this story, but I found it pretty over-the-top juvenile.
I doubt it; I don't relate her story telling but I take responsability for that, the book is designated as "Young Adult".
The narration was an excellent match. Much of the dialog is extreme teen talk and even hard to listen to, but it is presented in a believable teen manner.
Although a bit extreme, I suspect the dark side of this story is one that many true young adult readers would find intriguing.
One reviewer related this story to "The Secret History", that is a very weak comparison. That story had smarts, this one does NOT.
The backwards chronology of the story was exceptionally engaging and surprisingly a challenge to hold in the mind.
I loved the balance in this story. For every thought or notion there seemed a counterpoint, perhaps at a different point in time or circumstance all together, but it was there. And for the thousands of points, big and small, there was just one that really bugged me and I can't stop thinking about it and I can't stop wondering if it where happenstance or deliberate. I didn't like the moral character of the most cultural progressed person, the multi-racial scientist who helps with the salt. If everything seemed so progressive and balanced, why is the character of the future, the one with the most mixed social, physiological and political heritage the most annoying? He doesn't detract form the story at all, he is very minor, but it is a good indication of how so many small parts make up the whole of this story.
No, this is the first time I have heard her narrate a story. I was a little concerned when I read other reviews which disfavored her performance but I thought she did shockingly well! Her task was by no means an easy one! As to those who didn't like the Australian accent, the character was Australian for goodness sake, she was supposed to have an accent.
I didn't have an extreme reaction in turns of crying or laughing but I would say this story engaged my mind, my love of history, my proclivity to fairness in all opinions and ideas in an extreme manner; no other book has done so as well.
A friend recommended this book saying she had just finished it a second time. The "second" time was quite a recommendation in it's own right, any book read twice is a book worth reading once. I am certain I will listen to this book a number of times over the years.
"Missed the mark."
I liked the characters, especially the secondary ones, but the story was seriously lacking in what I would have expected from SEP. It almost seems as if she can't really relate to this generation anymore and was more interested in political and social nano-points rather than a convincing story. Just the name of the main male lead, "Panda", indicates how far this story misses the mark. Having said that, it does follow the traditional SEP format which many of us enjoy. In regards to what I liked least, I would say the narration assignment was so way, way off that it was unsettling; which isn't to say the narrator wasn't good, she is very talented but she seemed far more mature than the voice of the generation depicted in the story.
I would listen to a story associated with the Chicago group of stories, but not any associated with the Texas group or this First Family group.
She is a very talented narrator and did an excellent job with the craft of narration but she is far too mature for this story; it was unsettling and awkward.
Just giving the male lead a real name would of made a HUGE difference! What was SEP thinking? Who thinks "Panda" is sexy, swarthy and yet still respectable at the end of the day?
SEP writes a great story, she needs to develop stories and characters a bit older than these she is holding on to, she can't relate anymore.
"An exceptionally unpleasant experience"
I chose the story based on a review which likened it to a puzzle, so I was anticipating a story in which the crux of the situation is never really known until the end; that was not the case. This is a story about two loathsome people relating to their lives together in a despicable manner, the puzzle being just how pathologically horrible they can undo one another. Regardless of being well written, there isn't a single engaging element to the people or the story, so as an experience it is flat and awful.
I should have followed my first reaction to the author's name, I could recall the book cover of "Sharp Objects" and a faint impression of having not really favored that story either but I couldn't recall the actual story itself, so I disregarded my instinct and fell victim to all of these positive reviews. So ultimately, I am most disappointed in having not followed my instinct.
No, absolutely not, which is why I am writing such a negative review. I don't make a habit of being negative or even writing reviews but this story was so awful I feel compelled to tell people. I chose this book based on a positive comment, there is a flood of positive reviews, and I think people should know there is a counter-balance of listeners who hated it.
"Fun, Light Seasonal Story"
The story was seasonal yet light and fun. You could see whare the story was going, yet the characters were real enough and engaging in their personalities and back stories, to make the journey a fun little listen.
I enjoyed the personailities of the characters most. I am very familiar with the setting, so I wasn't drawn into the descriptions as much as someone who would be creating the images in their mind. I would think for them, that experience would also be a delight.
I probably wouldn't search her out as I do some other favored narrators, but I wouldn't not choose to listen to a book she narrates simply because she is filling that role.
Seasonal stories don't need follow ups, especially light ones like this one. It's a perfect little holiday package, don't introduce overkill.
"It was dull."
The premise of the story is the mystery of who will be the groom for the Christmas Day wedding, yet all components of the story, the characters and even the elements of drama are predictable and to be truthful, not very engaging. Therefore, little could of been done to make it better, what was there to build upon was weak and uninteresting.
I understand these authors are well known, well loved and have a devoted following, but I won't be joining the ranks, so my next book (ever) will not be one of theirs. I listened to
I have forgotten.
"Read this book, don't listen to it."
This is a magical story, that much is true. Other reviewer's warnings regarding narration are equally true. I read the reviews warning how the narration dulls the experience but discounted them in favor of all the reviews regarding the story. Now I see how one can so effect the other, don't listen to this book, go buy a copy/check out a copy of this book and snuggle up under a duvet near a window and read it. The voices are irritating and don't seem in sync, it's hard to imagine a recording session where the characters were even in the same room in the same conversation, it's all a beat off. Let your own mind fill in the voices and your experience will be far better than listening to the one provided here.

Product description
SuperCollider is one of the most important domain-specific audio programming languages, with potential applications that include real-time interaction, installations, electroacoustic pieces, generative music, and audiovisuals. The SuperCollider Book is the essential reference to this powerful and flexible language, offering students and professionals a collection of tutorials, essays, and projects. With contributions from top academics, artists, and technologists that cover topics at levels from the introductory to the specialized, it will be a valuable sourcebook both for beginners and for advanced users. SuperCollider, first developed by James McCartney, is an accessible blend of Smalltalk, C, and further ideas from a number of programming languages. Free, open-source, cross-platform, and with a diverse and supportive developer community, it is often the first programming language sound artists and computer musicians learn. The SuperCollider Book is the long-awaited guide to the design, syntax, and use of the SuperCollider language. The first chapters offer an introduction to the basics, including a friendly tutorial for absolute beginners, providing the reader with skills that can serve as a foundation for further learning. Later chapters cover more advanced topics and particular topics in computer music, including programming, sonification, spatialization, microsound, GUIs, machine listening, alternative tunings, and non-real-time synthesis; practical applications and philosophical insigh"s from the composer's and artist's perspectives; and "under the hood," developer's-eye views of SuperCollider's inner workings. A Web site accompanying the book offers code, links to the application itself and its source code, and a variety of third-party extras, extensions, libraries, and examples.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two antibiotic regimens in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia in non-hospitalized adult patients. A 5-day course of 750 milligrams of levofloxacin given once daily will be compared to a 10-day course 500 milligrams of levofloxacin given once daily.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Pneumonia |
Drug: levofloxacin |
Phase 3 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double-Blind Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Multicenter, Double-Blind Randomized Study to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of Levofloxacin 750 mg Once Daily for Five Days vs. Levofloxacin 500 mg Once Daily for 10 Days in the Treatment of Mild to Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Adults |
- Clinical response rates based on signs and symptoms at posttherapy visit.
- Microbiologic eradication rates at posttherapy visit; Clinical response rates (chest x-ray findings and signs/symptoms) and microbiologic eradication rates at poststudy; Incidence of adverse events
Enrollment: | 530 |
Study Start Date: | March 2001 |
Study Completion Date: | June 2002 |
Levofloxacin is an antibiotic that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, skin infections, urinary tract infections, and community-acquired pneumonia. This multicenter, double-blind (neither the patient nor the study doctor will know the dose of levofloxacin being administered) study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of two antibiotic regimens in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia in adult patients. A 5-day course of 750 milligrams of levofloxacin given once daily will be compared to a 10-day course 500 milligrams of levofloxacin given once daily. Patients receive levofloxacin by mouth or through a vein depending on the severity of their pneumonia. Patients are assessed after 3 days of treatment; treatment is discontinued if no significant improvement is noted. Patients showing signs of improvement continue in the study, with assessments on study days 12-16, and 17-21 (posttherapy visits), and 31-38 (poststudy visit). Effectiveness is assessed by measuring the ability of the study drug to eliminate bacteria causing pneumonia and to reduce the signs and symptoms of pneumonia. Chest x-rays and laboratory tests for presence of bacteria are performed during the study. Safety evaluations (incidence of adverse events, physical examinations, laboratory tests) are performed throughout the study. The study hypothesis is that levofloxacin administered at a higher dose for a shorter duration is at least as effective as levofloxacin administered at a lower dose for a longer duration in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia and is generally well-tolerated.
Levofloxacin, 500 milligrams (mg) by mouth or through vein daily for 10 days or 750 mg by mouth or slowly through a vein daily for 5 days

Title: | Ecologic Observations on an Estuarine Environment at Fanning Atoll |
Author: | Guinther, Eric B |
Date: | 1971-04 |
Publisher: | University of Hawai'i Press |
Citation: | Guinther EB. 1971. Ecologic observations on an estuarine environment at Fanning Atoll. Pac Sci 25(2): 249-259. |
Abstract: | Salinity variations observed in an inlet and tidal flat on Fanning
Atoll ranged from 7.8 to 42.3 %. Water temperatures varied from 25.1 C to 39.70 C. Daytime oxygen concentrations indicated that water at all stations was supersaturated. There are numerous estuaries on Fanning. Although distinct physical regions may be recognized within the estuaries, the distribution of organisms over these regions was found not to be comparable from estuary to estuary. Most of the fauna of the estuarine environment on atolls appears to be derived from euryhaline, high intertidal, or supratidal species of the lagoon shore. |

What is the Artist Project?
The Artist Project is a collaboration between the MFA and ten after-school community organizations in the Boston area. The artist and the children create a collaborative work of art inspired by the Museum's encyclopedic collection. The completed project is exhibited in the Edward H. Linde Gallery (168) in the Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art at the MFA.
Artist's Role
Each year a new experienced artist with a passion for community arts plans and leads a project with children between the ages of six and twelve. The role of the lead artist is to guide the children and steer the work of art into its final exhibited shape. The MFA provides the selected artist with a stipend and a materials budget. The lead artist works with MFA staff and collections and is recognized across all exhibition materials including postcards and the MFA website.
The MFA currently partners with ten community organizations including five Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston located in Blue Hill, Charlestown, Chelsea, Roxbury, and South Boston; Paul R. McLaughlin Youth Center, Boys and Girls Club of Dorchester; West End House Boys & Girls Club of Allston-Brighton; United South End Settlement House (USES); Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center (BCNC); and Vine Street Community Center. The artist meets with approximately 10-15 children per session. The participating children meet with the artist after school during their scheduled visits.
Additional Support
Along with support from the Community Arts Initiative staff in the Museum's education department, the MFA also employs a liaison for each of the community centers. MFA liaisons assist the lead artist during each session. Community center art directors and MFA interns are also available to assist during sessions. MFA staff from the curatorial, exhibition, and facilities departments support the exhibition installment.
The artist schedules a minimum of four visits lasting two hours with each of the ten organizations. Visits take place between 3 pm and 8 pm at the MFA and community centers.
- Postmark Deadline: January 9, 2015
- Notification: March 13, 2015
- Initial Planning Meetings: May 2015
- Sessions Begin: September 2015
- Sessions End: March 2016
- Installation: April 2016
- Artist Project Exhibition Opening: May 2016
Application Process
Experienced artists with demonstrated ability to complete large-scale projects involving different elements, community partners, and groups of children.
Judging Criteria
Judges review applications for:
The lead artist engages visitors and participants with the MFA's collection and uses a variety of media in innovative, creative, and exciting ways.
The project draws from the MFA's collections and reflects the artist's style.
The project can be completed within the timeframe and materials budget provided.
The artist conveys a clear vision of how the final work of art will be exhibited within the gallery space.
The project allows for multiple participants and considers after-school variables such as children leaving a session early, arriving late, or only participating in one session.
Selection Process
Each year a different panel, typically composed of an MFA Curator, Art Educator, Artist, and a Community Art Director reviews applications and recommend three final candidates. The lead artist is then selected by the MFA Linde Family Head of Community and Studio Arts, the MFA Manager of Community Arts and other MFA staff members following interviews of the final candidates. For more information please e-mail Francisco Mendez-Diez, Manager of Community Arts: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Many older women believe they face a greater threat of financial hardship in retirement than men, and that concern may not be off the mark. An AARP study, based on interviews with 4,000 people ages 50 to 64, found that women consistently reported more consternation than men about their current financial state and future outlook. Of course, the deep recession didn't make anyone feel flush with confidence. But women were clearly more worried. "Women feel less secure because they are," says report …

I've bought an android device from china, it's basically a htc one x replica. I'm wondering if anybody knows of a way to root an unkown phone? My computer is ubuntu 10.04 and android version 4.1.6. I'm trying to change the device name so I can play more games and pass compatibility issues. Any help would be appreciated
Someone posted a similar question regarding these counterfeit phones. You are going to find little to no support from the developer community for these phones. http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/664720-chinese-phones-international-roms.html
first thing I do (I often buy these things as toys or for test animals so I don't brick a more expensive gadget) is download and install 'root checker'. you'd be surprised how many are actually rooted out of the box, and only need a SU binary or Superuser app to make it work. this allows root apps but since there is little to no developer support, forget custom ROMs or flashing an alternative recovery. List of Pre-Rooted tablets as I know: 1. D2 Pads ($79 and up) 2. Emerson and Polaroids (same thing basically, around $65 and higher)
hi everyone .i am a fresh member and would like to share more interested thing about andorid Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich .if you have any question about Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich pls tring to contact me ,maybe i can help you
if you are an ICS expert than i'd love to find out how to disable the bloody annoying ANRs, or the prompts saying '[app name] isn't responding, would you like to close it?' first of all I am a patient guy. I don't need dialogs that remind me of Clippy the Office Assistant to tell me what I already know. if my apps run slow, I can wait without the annoying pop-up alert
From experience, buggy and poorly tested Chinese ICS running on low-specced hardware. Probably more of the latter though. My quality ICS Lenovo phone doesn't do this at all, but on the other hand the cheapo Ampe tablet thing I've got does it rather frequently, e.g. "Application xxx is unresponsive, would you.....blah blah". Probably a bit like running Windows 7 or 8 on a cheap or old "Designed for Windows XP", underspecced PC. Things are sluggish, slow to load, unresponsive etc. Run it on decent hardware, and it's a different story.

Hi! I am 5 days post-op and am freaking out. I underwent an open rhinoplasty and septoplasty and still have the bandages on but I can already tell that my nostrils looks uneven. I had a bump removed, my tip brought up using cartilage from my septum, and my nostrils brought down but not narrowed. I cannot smile at all.. when I try it looks creepy and none of my top teeth show. Is this normal?

Tenn. Guardsman's Home Is In A Perilous Location
By editor
Originally published on Fri December 30, 2011 5:07 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. American veterans home from Iraq include Doug Edmisten of Knoxville, Tennessee. Hazardous as his duty was, he also faced danger at home. Two years ago, he was home for his son's birth when a runaway construction truck smashed through his house. Then on Christmas Eve, a van smashed through the house in the same spot. An apologetic neighbor explained he'd been working on the brakes of the van. The Edmisten's went to work on finding a motel. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.

This one is tough but I actually think both of you might have been right.
It's easy and many times it's correct to say she was wrong and she shouldn't have pushed you to sell it. But that could be hasty and perhaps unfair given the whole situation. I take it from what I have read that you are a young man and not making a big income these days and you have financial needs that are pressing, like a new car. I'd say as long as this was in fact a good financial decision and it's for something you actually have a greater need for, then yea, you probably did good listening to her. Still, it hurts to let them go....... guns that is

First of all, congratulations on the baby! May your child be born with the correct "fingers & toes count," and bring you all of the joy that a child should. With that said, it sounds like you made a painful decision, but for all the right reasons. When you become a parent, there are some things that you just have to set aside for the good of the family. Sometimes, like now, that stinks. As others have noted, though, if you had to sell, now is the time to do so, prices being what they are.

Congrats on the new baby on the way, you will love being a Dad. I know I do. As far as selling your gun, I sold 4 hand guns and 2 rifles back in the mid 70's and have regretted it to this day. That being said, family comes first over material possessions. Your job at wal-mart isn't a real high paying job is it ? You do want and need a better job right ? You do need a car don't you ? You do have a baby on the way right ? The answer to those questions should tell you if you did thew right thing selling your gun.
Down the road you will probably buy another gun and maybe a better one than you had and one you even like better. Take care of your wife and the new baby, there is nothing like having a family. |

A shooting buddy also had to sell his beloved WASR to another shooting buddy who subsequently had to sell the poor WASR to yet a third person. I kept expecting to see it on a milk carton, but I understand it has found a "forever home" now.

If my girlfriend ever becomes my fiancée and tells me to sell either my M1A or my 1911 I'll take that ring back and sell it to buy a nice stockpile of ammo for each and tell her to kick rocks. She might not know it but that line was drawn long before we met.

On that note, I think it's time to close this and let the OP grieve in peace.

fighter27 September 20, 2010
i think about to pick crocop, because he has a good takedown defense and his stand up is still very good. mir has a questionable chin, not very good takedowns and he is slow…but mir improves in his stand up and his submission is still very good. if mir put crocop on the ground, he finishes him fast. in a stand up fight everything is possible.
Krio September 20, 2010
I hope Crop Cop beats up Frank Mir, I really hate Frank Mir!!!!

Cro Coff by strikes!
Maccie-Fresh September 20, 2010
Mir has lost five times in his career all by knockout. Who better to make it six than cro cop. Dude can hurt people. And who better to see him hurt than that whingebag mir.
Hope Bader can knockout Lil Nog.
Dunham, Lytle & Gulliard for the wins aswell
Sean Wooldridge September 20, 2010
Also interesting to note – How many times has Crocop been submitted in his entire career? Mir is kidding himself if he thinks he's just going to sub him in the first round. Just because he's known for his striking doesn't mean that he's a pushover on the ground, especially defensively.

People seem to forget that CroCop went the distance with Fedor in his prime. His ground game is not lacking in the slightest. He may be older and slower now, but he is still solid in all areas.

Drummond, Graeme (2004) Consumer confusion: reduction strategies in higher education. International Journal of Educational Management, 18 (5). pp. 317-323. ISSN 0951-354X
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract/Description
This paper highlights the increasingly important topic of consumer confusion. Drawing parallels with experiences in the private sector, the concept of consumer confusion is explored within the higher education sector; what causes the phenomenon, how do consumers react to it and how can it be negated/minimised? The expansion and commercialisation of higher education has seen the wide-scale adoption of marketing techniques within the sector. Such actions generate increased capacity for consumer confusion, with consumers being overwhelmed with information and potentially making sub-optimum decisions. Given that the selection of a degree course is normally a life changing event, careful consideration needs to be given, by all parties, to whether marketing helps or hinders this process. While focusing on higher education, the issues considered are equally applicable to any public sector body adopting a more market driven approach.

STIS Data Handbook 6.0 May 2011 |
email@example.com |
The naming convention for STIS files is rootname_xxx.fits, where xxx is a three-character file suffix. The suffix identifies the type of data within the file. Table 2.1 lists the file suffixes for both uncalibrated and calibrated data files. Depending on the type of observation you have obtained, and therefore on the path it has taken through the calibration pipeline, you will find an appropriate subset of these files in your particular dataset. Table 2.2 shows the datasets that are produced by the calstis pipeline for different types of datasets.Table 2.1: Data File Naming Conventions
Trailer file; historical record of generic conversion
and pipeline processing 1-D extracted spectra for individual imsets:
• Aperture extracted, background subtracted, flux and
wavelength calibrated spectra 2-D spectral and direct images for individual imsets:
• Rectified, wavelength and flux calibrated first order spectra or
• Geometrically corrected imaging data. 1-D extracted spectra from summed (REPEATOBS)
or cosmic ray rejected (CRSPLIT) images. 2-D rectified direct or spectral images from summed
(REPEATOBS) or cosmic ray rejected (CRSPLIT) images.
Raw data from non-automated GO wavecals, biases, darks, and flats, as well as from ACQs and ACQ/PEAKs, also have the _raw suffix.
Table 2.2: STIS Data File by Observation Type
NRPTEXP=1 raw
raw flt, x2d
flt, x2d CCD
MAMA NRPTEXP>1 or CRSPLIT>1
NRPTEXP>1 raw
raw flt
flt, x2d crj, sx2
sfl, sx2 MAMA 1st order
MAMA echelle tag, raw, wav
tag, raw, wav flt, x2d, x1d
flt, ----, x1d
Note that, while the pipeline does not produce a summed sx1 file for MAMA multiple imset spectroscopic datasets, you can easily do so by running x1d on the sfl file.
A single raw image is generated from the tag file for TIME-TAG data. For other options, see
Section 5.6.
2.2.1 Each task in the calstis package creates messages during processing which describe the progress of the calibration. These messages are quite relevant to understanding how the data was calibrated, and in some of the cases, to determining the accuracy of the products.When the data is processed in the archive pipeline, the output messages from the conversion of the telemetry data and the different calibration steps done by the calstis software are stored in a text FITS file known as the trailer file, with extension _trl. Each time the archive processes data before retrieval, the old trailer file is erased and a new one created using the results of the most recent processing performed. This is not the case when calstis is run in a user's home environment. Calstis redirects the output of its many steps to the STDOUT, so when run on a personal machine, it will not override this _trl file but rather will direct the output to STDOUT.The data on the telemetry conversion appears first in this table. In this section of the _trl file, there is also information relevant to the selection of the best reference files and the population of some of the header keywords. The second part of this file is the information on the calibration steps performed by the calstis pipeline, appearing in the order in which each step was performed. In this last section of the _trl file, the calstis steps are indicated by their module name (see Table 3.1 of this document).The calstis messages provide information on the input and output files for each step, the corrections performed, information regarding the reference files used, and in the case of spectroscopic data, messages about the location of the extracted spectrum or shift correction applied to the data. Calstis also gives warnings in the event of failures of the software to locate the spectrum or when the appropriate correction to the data could not be applied. For more detailed information on the calibration steps and structure of calstis, please refer to Chapter 3.An association is created when repeated exposures are obtained through CR-SPLITs or REPEATOBS, and when wavecal exposures are linked to science exposures. The repeated exposures in an association will appear in a single FITS file. You can recognize a file as part of an association because there will be a zero in the last position of the rootname (e.g., o3tt01010_raw.fits). The rootnames of the individual exposures in an association are contained in the association file, which has suffix _asn (e.g., o3tt01010_asn.fits). An association file holds a single binary table extension, which can be displayed with the IRAF tasks tprint or tread. The information within an association table shows how the associated exposures are related. Figure 2.1 illustrates the contents of the association table for a CRSPLIT=2 observation, with an associated wavecal.Figure 2.1: Contents of Association TableThe association table above tells the user that the product, or dataset, will have the rootname o3tt01010, that there will be two science exposures contained in the o3tt01010_raw.fits file that are CR-SPLITs, and that a o3tt01010_wav.fits file should exist containing the contemporaneously obtained automatic wavecal. The o3tt01010_raw.fits file will contain six image extensions, one triplet of {SCI, ERR, DQ} for each exposure (see Section 2.3.1). The pipeline will calibrate these data as a unit, producing, in the case of CCD data, a single cosmic ray rejected image (rootname_crj.fits), its data quality and error images, and rectified spectra. Similarly, for REPEATOBS observations, in which many identical exposures are taken to obtain a time series, all the science data will be stored in sequential triplet extensions of a single FITS file (rootname_flt.fits). These will be processed through the calstis pipeline as a unit, with each image extension individually calibrated. The set of images will also be combined to produce a total time-integrated calibrated image.Originally, only automatically inserted wavecals were associated and used for wavelength calibration in the OTFR pipeline. Although GOs could specify additional lamp exposures with the LINE, HITM1, or HITM2 lamps that could be used to supplement or replace the automatic wavecals, these were not used in the pipeline.For a number of such spectroscopic datasets without auto-wavecals that were taken between STIS launch and the Side 2 failure in 2004, the associations were subsequently redefined to allow GO-specified wavecals to be used in place of the missing auto-wavecals. In these new associations, the GO-specified wavecal is treated in the same way as a standard auto-wavecal, although some parameters used for the exposure (e.g., aperture, exposure time, lamp, or lamp current) may differ from the default values that would have been used by the automatic wavecal.It was also decided that it would be desirable to "associate" STIS IR fringe flats taken using the tungsten calibration lamp with the G750M or G750L science exposures for which they were taken. Instead of creating a formal association between such datasets, the name of the recommended fringe flat is placed in the FRINGFLAT header keyword in the extension header of the science data, and all tungsten lamp images taken contiguously with the science data (i.e., no MSM motion between exposures) are automatically delivered to the user whenever data are requested from the archive.When suitable fringe flats are available, the recommended flat is chosen based on the aperture used for the fringe flat with the order of preference being 52X0.1, 52X0.05, 52X0.2, 52X0.5, 52X2, 0.3X0.09, and then any other. Should there be multiple suitable fringe flats taken using the same aperture, the one taken closest in time to the science exposure is preferred.Chapter 3 of this document gives more information about the pipeline processing.

- Scout Advertising gives brick and mortar advertisers a unique ability to reach consumers within 100 meters of any location
- ROI is easily measured by whether or not customers then drive to the store
Sunnyvale, California — October 16, 2012 — TeleNav®, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNAV), the leader in personalized navigation, announced today that it has acquired Local Merchant Services, Inc., d.b.a. ThinkNear, a privately held hyper-local mobile advertising company located in Los Angeles, California, for consideration of $22.5 million, consisting of approximately $18.5 million in cash, plus restricted stock and assumed options. The acquisition, which closed on October 10, 2012, added ThinkNear's team of twelve employees, including its two co-founders, to Telenav's mobile local advertising group.
Telenav will combine ThinkNear's targeting technology with the existing Telenav Drive-To Advertising™ solution to create a new mobile local advertising platform called Scout Advertising™.
ThinkNear — Hyper-Local Targeting
ThinkNear helps advertisers reach consumers within 100 meters of any location, which is more precise than the zip code and designated market area (DMA) targeting typically offered by most ad networks. The ThinkNear network reaches tens of millions of customers across more than seven billion impressions per month. The precision and scale of ThinkNear allows advertisers to take advantage of the most distinctive aspects of mobile phones, which more than 85 percent of American adults now own.
ThinkNear's targeting technology also enables Situational Targeting™, which takes into account where consumers are, what they are doing, and what is happening around them. For example, a sports memorabilia store can target an NFL fan with an advertisement for a nearby sale on branded jackets, blankets and umbrellas while the fan is tailgating on a cold and rainy day. Hyper-local Situational Targeting provides consumers with ads that are more relevant to their real-time needs and interests as they go about their day.
The ThinkNear network and Situational Targeting have helped advertisers, including dozens of recognized brands, secure click-through rates four times higher than the industry average and equally high conversion rates.
"Real-time location is a nuanced and difficult problem and we have spent almost two years working on the technology to do it right," said Eli Portnoy, CEO and co-founder of ThinkNear who will be joining the Scout Advertising team. "We have built technology to target mobile consumers based on true location and real-time context across billions of monthly impressions."
Mobile Internet Usage Increases but Mobile Advertising ROI Remains Elusive
According to Internet research firm comScore, mobile Internet usage is expected to overtake desktop Internet usage by 2014. However, despite the ongoing growth in consumer mobile Internet use, sixty-two percent of marketers surveyed by the Association of National Advertisers say the inability to prove ROI of advertising on new media platforms is a top concern. Recent reports from research firm eMarketer showed that mobile advertising accounted for less than one percent of total ad spending, or $1.45 billion, in the U.S. in 2011.
"Most mobile ad networks struggle with targeting because they are trying to apply online technologies in the mobile space," said Dariusz Paczuski, vice president of products, marketing, and monetization at Telenav. "This is frustrating for brick and mortar advertisers because, although the growth in mobile Internet use is astounding, the ROI for mobile has been difficult to measure. We now solve that problem by driving more customers at scale with hyper-local targeting and measurable results."
Scout Advertising — A New, Combined Platform
Telenav's existing search and navigation-based Drive-To Advertising platform reaches 34 million customers and provides advertisers with the industry's only measurement platform that captures the "drive-to" rate; the number of users who viewed an ad and then clicked on it to drive to the advertiser's business location. With drive-to rates, advertisers know exactly how many users are taking action to drive to a location, giving companies the ability to measure true ROI.
"We work with national advertisers who have come to realize that mobile isn't just about impressions, it's about driving and measuring the number of new customers," Paczuski continued.
Scout Advertising will combine ThinkNear's Situational Targeting technology with Telenav's Drive-To Advertising measurement to give advertisers access to a comprehensive solution delivering billions of hyper-local impressions per month.
"We are extremely excited to combine ThinkNear's technology and expertise with our own to provide an even more comprehensive solution for advertisers to reach and drive more customers," stated Paczuski. "This is a platform built from the ground up to leverage the mobile experience. We will help advertisers reach the right people while deploying the right mobile measurement tools. We expect this to change the game for advertisers. We are 100 percent focused on providing them with a clear and remarkable ROI on their mobile advertising spend. The proof will be the increase in customers driving to their front door."

John Lilburne
John Lilburne (1615-1657), also known as Freeborn John, was an English political agitator before, during and after the English Civil Wars (1642-1650). He was a leader in the Leveller movement of the 1640s in England. The Levellers campaigned for a radical shake-up of England's political system, and Lilburne was one of the movement's most famous members. To his supporters, John Lilburne was known as "Free-born John."[1]
In addition, Lilburne was a prolific pamphleteer and was imprisoned several times for his religious views. He was sentenced in 1637 to be whipped through the streets of London, pilloried and imprisoned. He was later released and fought in the Civil War on the side of Parliament. However, Lilburne fell out with Sir Cromwell and was exiled, returning later to live out his last days as a Quaker.[2]
Until the end of his life, Lilburne was a puritan who stood for freedom of the individual against the state and promoted the idea of people having freeborn rights. He was an ardent defender of religious liberty. A libertarian, he termed the phrase "freeborn rights," defining them as being rights that every human being is born with, as opposed to rights bestowed by government or by human law.[3]
His most important works include England's Birthright Justified (1645), England's New Chains Discovered (1649) and The Hunting of the Foxes (1649).

Early struggles on the Jets' offensive line were due to unfamiliarity, but as new OLG Matt Slauson has played more, the unit has begun to jell. One player who has really stood out is OLT D'Brickashaw Ferguson, who made the Pro Bowl in 2009 and could be looking at a return trip there. Now in his fifth season, Ferguson has taken on a leadership role, mentoring Slauson as the year has progressed, developing a tandem on the left side of the line similar to what Ferguson and Alan Faneca had for the past two seasons. Ferguson has made a huge impact in the team's last two wins. In Week Five, he dominated the Vikings' Jarred Allen, as the Pro Bowl defensive end had no quarterback pressures. In the Week Six game at Denver, RB LaDainian Tomlinson followed the 310-pound tackle to the second level, waiting for Ferguson to clear out some Broncos defenders before sprinting into the endzone on a 20-yard TD run.

Ferguson Has Become Leader Of Jets Ol
Posted 25 October 2010 - 03:52 PM
Nick and Brick are the leaders on this team. That's why I never bought into the "Oh my... the Jets are doomed after trading Fanny".. BS. Fanny was a liability because of his age. Mangold and Brick are getting paid too much money not to be leaders of their group.
